What have you been watching lately?

'Terminal' (2018) starring Margot Robbie. I always enjoy MR, good actress and easy on the eyes, but this movie makes a straightforward plot 'more interesting' by using the old quick cut between present and past trick continuously. frankly it felt cheap. the only good scenes are the conversations between Simon Pegg & Margot Robbie. They get to work their comefic skills and they are a good pairing. the rest of the movie is bland as fuck and you get the feeling the Pegg subplot is only very loosely connected to the main plot. the final 'reveal' was laughable

also it's a movie with no outdoors scenes whatsoever

5/10

I saw fight club Corny as fuck. The acting was good but the story is cringe, how are white people so pathetic?

The Sandman. I'm not big on voiceover so we'll see how it goes. I love me some Neil Gaiman (novels) but I'm not familiar with this comic.

Charles Dance is playing onesummabitch in 'The Sandman' so you know the show is off to a good start

this 'Sandman' shit is extremely bingeworthy. thanks to 24,000 posts on wucorp I now have the attention span of a gold fish but I'm still on my 4th episode in 3 hours

@Satan you might enjoy this show (Netflix). Ep4 was in Hell

was debating on starting Sandman. really enjoyed reading some of Gaiman, never read Sandman, personally i thought some of the adaptions didnt live up to the source material. maybe its best i do this one without reading first.

still really need to watch, American Gods.

lmao, yeah i kind of have to agree with this. i read this book when i was 13 or so and thought it was like the most radical bad ass thing ever. it was pretty big within a certain sub group of dudes at school. flash forward a few years later and the author came out as queer, which even as a young reader the more i read of his, the more i started to feel that this guy is gay. smh. i think his work started to fall after the coming out imo. havent checked him since mid high school i would say.

Brett Easton Ellis is queer but i feel like most of his work stayed pretty good throughout his career, he even wrote some good screenplays. The Canyons in particular i thoroughly enjoyed with Lindsay Lohan and James Deen.

but back to the movie Fight Club. man what a GREAT CAST and what a great director. literally everything was great. and when watching this as a younger kid we all thought this was ANARCHY. super bad ass. a couple years ago, i found it in a clearance bin at Barnes and Nobles and i said fuck it, this would be nice to have in the collection since i (thought) i loved it so much as a kid.

man i re watched this at like 26/27 years old and i had the same reaction you did. like this is some of the cringest shit ive ever watched. almost disgusted with myself for having enjoyed it so much lolz.

although the line about never eating the clam chowder i still find hilarious for some reason.

A Netflix film is good? Huh. Ok. I will take your word.

Watching Marx Brothers films, some of which I hadn't seen before. The Cocoanuts is probably the oldest film I've seen, and its funnier than pretty much every new comedy you could name.

^^I've never seen one in full, I should give it try.

I've been watching 'Schitt's Creek' starring Eugene Levy.

I saw it. Decent for what it's worth for a Netflix film with big actors. Speaking of TV, mine went out so I need to buy a new soon. Once I get it hooked up, I'll watch The Batman on 4K Blu Ray.

Checked out a bit of the new LOTR show. Its not bad so far, just to see the visuals and the worlds they've created is pretty cool to start with.

I'm halfway through (4 hours in) The Beatles: Get Back doc. It's fascinating to see them put together a whole album, and it just makes me appreciate them even more. Can't wait to finish it.

Welcome to Wrexham. Docuseries with Ryan Reyonlds and Rob Mchelleny on Hulu.
